Warning! Adv Teaser!

So a while ago I ordered the ADV7's, however, I went with their new forgings, which were supposed to be extra concaved. I ordered the wheels from WheelAddicts when the forgings were not even close to being ready yet. Jorge from wheeladdicts kept me in the loop on a weekly basis and updated me with pics as they were sent to him. This is what the cutting process looks like. I had never seen an actual raw wheel yet:







Wheels will be ready this week.

Trim-sol is the coolant used during machining.
